gentlemen have accep ed the trust at the

The exchanges OF the State Of Maryland
when touching upon the forth coming
Constitutional Convention indicate the
motives which prompt The uttersnces.-
Wherever the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company can exert itself by substituting
the press, the editorial opinions are antag.
onistic to a change which would surely
result in compelling that tyrannous Octo-
pus to pay its just share OF taxstion.-
Wherever, on the other hand, communi.
tics are struggling to keep pace with the
promising prog ressivs steps of the day
and generation, a change is demanded
and the provincial press is squarely plant
ed in favor of radical changes. The Port
Tobacco TINES, a journal which has done
much for its section of country, is Of the
opinion that the question will be decided
in the affirmative by large majority

A RefOrmer's Protest.

The flop over of John K. Cowen to the
Republicans and his cheeky pledge of ,bt
reform Democrats" to the support of the
Republican ticket, has created some ex-
citement and indignation among the res
pectable and we'll meaning Democrats
who, failing to discover the sordid utter,
ior purpose of that willy corporation law
yer, were associated with him 10 his pre-,
tended efforts to reform the Democratic
party last winter. Hon. James C. Dennis,
the president of the Oratorie Hall meeting
last winter, at which Mr.. Cowen figured
SO conspicuously, FASTENED on the day fol-
lowing the Republican convention to re-
pudiate for himself and other honest Dem.
ocrats with whom he acted the utterances
and pledges OF Mr.. Cowen. In an inter-
view with Sun reporter Nr. Dennis said ::
If correctly reported, Mr.. Cowen said
yesterday, in and to the Republican State
convention, but I (Mr. Cowen) want to
say for large number of reform demo-
Gratis that we propose to support out and
out the republican State ticket. as it has
been nominated Iwant to say that, uE-
like Mr.. Cowen, so far as I know. Mr..
Cowen is the only reform democrat, GER
tainly he is the first one, of that branch
of the democratic party, who proposes
thus to act, 'out and out or partially, or
in any other way. Again, he il reported
as saying. The independents, meaning,
presume, the reform democrats, propose
to give you (the republicans) vigor and
enthusiasm, with that we ought to wipe
out the Cleveland majority of 5000
desire to say now, at The very earliest
possible moment, after coming to knowl-
edge of this opinion of my distinguished
brother reformer, that this would be q
most remarkable reform. 1t would b. q
reform backwards, or FROM good to evil.
l have nothing in common with such a
sentiment. As democrat and q reformer
1 repudiate such doctrine, thought or
feeling, if could would make Mary Iand
democratic not by six thousand, but by
ten times six thousand, and keep her SO,
to vote for Grover Cleveland in 1888. and
for democratic presidents in all time
thereafter. l know not and am at loss
to imagine by what authority Mr.. Cowen
undertakes to speak for large number OF
reform democrats, and pledge their sup
port to a republican ticket, then hardly
made and still uuannounced to the pub
lie. Nor do I comprehend by what au-
thority he assumes to say that reform
democrats will infuse into the republican
canvas 'vigor and enthusiasm take leave
to say that in my opinion, unless Mr.
Cowen be the exception, every member
of the reform Oratorio convention will be
found in opposition to the republican
State ticket. think he has entirely mis-
taken the temper and the feeling of the
members of the reform party. We may,
we possibly always will have our person
al feelings, prejudices, which are strong
er, if you will. We may dislike, if you
wish to call it so, some of our party nomi-
nees, but when it Comes to great State
or national contest, in which the destiny
Of the State or nation is to be decided,
personal and private feelings must be
put aside, and great public interests alone
considered.

Mr. Compt0n's View.

While Congressman Compton was in
Washington on Friday he was asked to
express his opinion as to what effect Mr..
Cowen's plunge into the republican party
will have on the approaching campaign
in Maryland:
"Ip the first instance" replied Mr.. Comp
ton, 1--WE know now under what flag he
fights, and secondly, I do not know of
any special following he has, and. there
fore, do not believe he will add materially
to the strength OF the republican party in
the coming contest" Continuing. Mr.
Compton said "Mr. Cowen has demon
strated his wonderful ability in effccting
deals, having eclipsed his friend, Mr.. Gar
rett, who sought tor many months to ac-
complish railroad deal, and make two
big deals in single day, one with the
republican party and the other with the
Canton Company, OF which Mr.. Brooks is
president"
Mr.. Compton then went on to say that
Mr.. Cowen may he serious in his desire tor
purity in elections, but he must be ignor-
ant of the record of the republican party
ia the State, its intolerance, prescription
and corruption. II he desires TO be IT,
formed on the latter point, Mr.. Compton
says he will only have to turn to their
own account of themselves given at their
St.te convention held 1T Frederick several
years ago, when the postoffice aud custom
house factions ventilated each Others con.
duct at the Baltimore primaries. The
same men control the present organ ization
who figured so conspicuously at that con
yenrion
political par'ies." s,id Mr.. Compton,
''are not censured or held responsible for
Ahe individual acts Of its individual mem
bers, but for the conduct of its trusted
agents in official position. The fact that
no word can be said in dero cation of the
personal or official conduct of any gentle.
man on either ticket is . matter of con-
graduation by the people OF bo'h parties,
as the contest will therefore have to be
made outside of personalities and upon the
records of the two parties. Unless the
people of Maryland have exceedingly
short memories and are very credulous the
democratic party has nothing to lear 10y
such comparison"

The First Lady Mayor.

Argonia, Kan, is the only town in
America which ever elected a won an to
ths Office of mayor. Mayor Salter's maiden
name was Susanna Maiora Klnsey. She
was born Of parents who were members
OF the Society Of Friends on farm near
Lamira. Belmont couBty, Ohio, in 1860
In 1872, when she was 12 years old, she
removed with her parents to farm 12
miles west of Topeka Kan. In 1878 and
1879 she attended the Kansas State In
dustrial College, Manhatten, where Louis
A Salter, son Of Lieutenant Governor Of
the State, to whom The was married in
1880, WAS fellow-student. Owing to ill
health Miss Kinsey did not graduate, but
left college for home in the early part of
1880. When in 1883 her fathers family
removed to Argonia, she and her husband
went with thea. The place was settle
ment of Quakers, and its first mayor was
Oliver Kinsey, her father. Mrs. Salter
and her husband were prominent in or
ganizing Baptist church, and to her is
largely due the origin of fourishipg
branch of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union. Mayor Salter was elected
last spring. Only two days before cleo
tion q meeting of the w. c. T. U. was
was called, at which candidate for mayor
and FIVE councilmen were named. Early
on the election-day morning an anti-pro-
hibitionist, thinking it joke. ordered
some tickets to be printed with the coun-
cilmen on it as named by the women's
meeting, but substituting Mrs. Sslter's
name tor that Of their candidate for may or.
Her friends set to work and accomplished
what had been proposed as an i'll natured
joke. Mrs. Salter's salary is 81 year.
The mayor of Argonis is about 5 feet 81
inches in height. She is thin and of an
active temperament. Her eyes are gray
and her crimped hair of blonde shade
The cares of Office have induced her to en-
gage the services of domestic, but other.

were before her election. She learned

The Beef supply.

Tie Chicago Tribune of Friday has q
long article on the dressed beef ring and
how it is proiting by the low price OF
cattle. 1t says: ut is assumed in many
quarters that beef famine is not far away.
Estimates as to the destruction OF cattle
in the Northwest last winter are that in
Montana there were about 400, 900 head,
in Idaho about 100000, in Wyoming
about 100000, in Colorado about $4,000;
or s50,0u0 head in all. During the sun
mer, on account Of the excessive drought,
1t is estimated that the losses in the beef
producing Staies-such as Illinois, Iowa,
Ohio, Missouri Kansas and in New Mex ice,
Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota aud DakotA
swell the total to 10000 head OF
beeves. Many, however, assert these
figures are far too high. But this 10 not
the main fact which indicates q future
.fs2ine. 1t is DOW known that from so TO
y cent. less Of calves were born this
than is usual, owing to climate
D3uses, which must have its effect in
time. To this must be added the fac {
that cattle producers have been rushing
their surviving stock on the market at 81
unparalleled rate, and that from these and
other causes many ranchmen are discour-
aged and are going out OF business Those
who are opposed to this view argue tha,
there are still 2s, 900, 900 besves and 49,
100000 mich cows in the country. The
bulk OF these, however. enter into local
consumption and use One thing that
impresses the con>umer 10 that he gets
beef no cheaper because the producer sells
1t for so little. Who 10 it gets the big
sum in between the price paid 10y tho pro-
ducer and consumer 1t is limited by
ranchmen that it 10 dressed beef monopo-
ly. Interstate commerce laws have no
terrors for these dressed beef men. The
low price Of beef is their opportunity. II
they fail to keep beef down they will
quickly purchase all that i. offered for
future delivery. These monopolis,s lash
both sides, the producer and consumer
alike. On every bullock there is profit
OF $40 to the dressed beef monopoly and
either loss or an even thing foI the pro-
ducer. The consumer pays monopoly tbs
extra $40 profit"

Bookkeeping by Women.

At one of the Western bee keepers con-
veniions Il paper on he above subject was
read by Mrs l.. Nj. Thomas, of which an
abstract is given below.
The pressing need for women to sup
port themselves ought to turn their eyes
more generally to bee keeping. Ii is in
every way a womanly employment. Mrs
I. had been a practical apiarlan for %
years. and her earliest memory was of
bees and tubs of honey. She learned all
the practical operations of bee manage
ment before she ever saw man lift
comb or transfer a swarm. Women must
be convinced that the occupation is refined
and ladyllke. Then they ought not to put
OIL money making until driven to it 5v alb
solute want As memuer ct Sorosis, she
finds the members more responsive to the
subject of bee keeping than any other,
and many questions are asked about city
bee keeping. She knew OF many success
full cases. A woman who can obtain mon
ev to puv her bees and fixtures NAV count
on return of 5000 to $500 the second
year, beside paying for the stock. A bee
hive is the best illustration of social in
dustry that we have. and it is essentially
feminine in its character. In the queen
we find the highest type OF animal devel-
opment. In beauty, symetry, rapidly of
motion, exactness in operation, conserva-
ton of power, intelligence and marvellous
fertility, it has no equal. My bees know
me. and often kiss my hand" As IA scien-
tiic study. as we'll as a legitimate bust.
ness. there is nothing like bookkeeping.
This body gathered here gave her more
hope for the future than anything she had
seen. Bookkeeping is yet in its infancy.
The bulk OF the eggs and poultry which
come to our tables are raised by women.
A wide field is waiting tor them with bees
and they are beginning to enter it. The
best of life had been when she worked for
the common good, and brought only
honey to the hive.
In reply to question, Mrs. Thomas
said that Miss Angie Creed of Trenton,
after talking with DR.. Townsend and her
self. borrowed money and bought her
stock, and two years after exhibited at the
State Fair beautiful honey which sold at
40 TO so cents pound. 1t paid off her
outlay ard lett a balance. When Mrs
Thomas began, she received so cents a
pound for comb honey in and 10 pound
boxes, and never had to go after buyers.
Two years ago she had 5000 pounds sur.
plus from 25 colonies. and sold $3.50
worth. When the lower cells were near
ly filled, she put on second story with
combs. then a third. These hives did not
swarm, and this is the secret of bee-keep-
ing if it can be carried out. Keep your
bees young. of right temper. and without
much crossing. Bees do not work for
honey. but for their young.
